We use many different methods in our garden. One of the most common questions is why we chose the methods we did and why they work for us. So we are going to answer that question in-depth and talk about every single gardening method we implement in the garden.
We do more than, JUST, YouTube!

Slowly I am learning how to glow plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables, I am finding gardening very therapeutic and inspiring, spending time outside with my hands in the earth while observing nature grow.
Having watched many of Lukes videos i have noticed a single white moth fly behind him in every single video.
I was wondering when you use the raised beds do you need to do anything to the soil/ground directly under the raised bed? Thank you for all your videos and topics
Absolutely loved these instructions of garden methods
Although I live in TN, I'm definitely recommending these videos to my Master Gardeners. The techniques are easily transferrable to our area and the subjects you cover are important to ALL gardeners. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your videos! One of my new favorite channels for sure! I'm aiming to start a garden for the first time this year, and there's just so much info out there. You do a good job explaining things, and sharing your experiences. I've already made the mistake of buying expensive seeds and too many of them, lol. I'm leaning towards corrugated metal raised beds, with cedar posts. We have a lot of rabbits around. I'll be binge watching for a while.Thanks again for passing along your experience!
i'd say gardening more of an art than a hard science. everyone has their own style, their own abilities and strengths and weaknesses. i'm usually picky about only using reputable sources for info, but gardening is the one thing where i trust word of mouth; we don't know everything about soil, but we teach each other techniques that have worked well for us. and almost none of the studies that are done are in realistic conditions that mirror your own area, your own garden
What happened to your book?!?!?
Luke what zone are you in?
Where do you keep the bales while you are letting them rot over the winter? I would def like to do this in.my beds. Also do you end up getting straw growing?
Why toss the cucumbers? When do you harvest them? You missed one day?
Have you ever tried square-foot gardening? Great video.
Thank You!
Can i add straw that is not rotten? Its year old but it’s been protected.
I'm in Indiana. My hope is that anything that works for you will work for me. Well done Luke and Mrs. MIGardener, well done.
I live next to a farm where I know the bales have overwintered cause they weren’t used all year, are they ok to use in the core gardening method?
I LOVE MIGARDENER
Thanks, Luke. I love seeing how many, many ways there are to grow a garden. Your best advice – Don't copy what anyone else is doing, learn and figure out what is YOUR way. Gardening is a very personal thing between you and the earth.
Last year did cement blocks to make raised bed. Using 12 inch long PVC pipe cemented in made nice anchors for 1 cross bar to support IPEX water tubes over the top. This allows for netting / Shade cloth & plastic covers to be added. (Held in place by Harbor Freight spring clips that fastened around the pipe! ).
To do over – line the inside with plastic to keep from dying out so fast! )
This year in town (rental) it's containers. Four 10 gallon grow bags each have a cabbage (great protection from cold north wind. ) 2 totes (20 gal???) Have 5 cauliflower each. 2 cucumber in 18? inch flower pot near chain link fence to vine on. This I like bcs I can reach over rabbit fence.
Experimenting again with garden tower … kohlrobbi in bottom, onion green beans & topped with broccoli. The beans are popping out today.
This is compact yet there's some variety … we shall see … just wondering about to dressing since I forgot about the TRIFECTA! Especially in the tower with the smaller pockets …
Thank you
Love the tip on high intensity. That is what I was naturally gravitating towards based on instinct – those spacing rules on the packages never made sense to me. Thank you so much.
Hi, I agree, gardening is an experience. I've been gardening for 30+ years and I still have to move plants because they don't like their initial spot, for whatever reason.
Sorry, I have a question. Do you bury the hay every spring? If so, doesn't that disturb the soil, which is something you were trying to prevent in the first tip? I like the hay tip for raised bed. I ended up doing that this year without realizing the benefits. Thanks for the explanation.
Luke, this was an excellent video. Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorials.
Do you have a video showing how you use the straw bales in the garden beds?
Sunflowers also remove lead from the soil, they are nature's purifiers. Make sure to throw them in the garbage bin at the end of the season in order to get the accumulated lead out of your property.
Really excellent info!
